IT was fondly believed by the friends of
the Indian" that when Geronimo was capt
ured and removed to Florida that trouble was
over in Arizona; but it appears that although
he may have been the king devil among the
Apaches, there are plenty left who are am
bilious to occupy his moccasins and, judging
by the recent atrocities, are fully qualified to
do so. Perhaps if Geronimo had been hanged
instead of having been carried in triumphal
march to another State, and there tenderly
cared for at government expense, all to please
Eastern sentimentalists, the impression on the
rest of the tribe might have been more salu-
tary.

The existence in Indiana of a number of
little towns which have nothing but the pos
session of gas to recommend them, and where
with more gas than can be used, it is prac-
tically given away to consumers, has filled
many indianapolis minds with ideas of the
prices to be put upon the new fuel here which
they will be wise to get rid of soon as pos
sible. Piping gas distance of from TWEEN
ty to forty miles, and from a large number of
wells, naturally involves more expense than
| in laying main one mile in length from one
WELL which is "gusher."

have determined to adopt heroic measures,

THERE is considerable whispering in official
circles at Washington, and prospect of a
scandal concerning the big fees charged by
and paid to the lawyers employed by the gov
eminent in the Panelectric telephone suits.
Among them were Judge Lowry, of New
York, and ex-Solicitor- general Goode, who
was retained in these suits Immediately after
his failure of confirmation by the Senate. 1t
seems that Judge Lowry values his time at
SIS per hour, waking or sleeping, and Mr..

THE News of yesterday gave large amount
of space to anonymous communications in
geniously demonstrating that the Standard
Oil Company intends to put the price of
natural gas higher than coal. When columns
of figures are arrayed to prove that shrewd
corporation proposes to spend over million
dollars in piping gas, and then put price on
It that would prevent anybody from using it.
a depth of idiocy has been reached that no
plummet of reason can sound.
